Best Sports Book: Caesars Palace

Caesars Palace keeps it simple. Big, yes, but simple. The layout of massive screens and betting lines makes sense, and you rarely have to search far to find a specific game or list of the day’s results and posted odds. A great touch is the oversized, marble statue of boxing legend Joe Louis. It is said that, more than a decade ago, a sports bettor was bobbing and weaving with the statue when he inadvertently made contact with the statue’s outstretched left jab. That moment, like the book, is a knockout. Open 24/7.
